Christmas'10

Christmas, it's the most wonderful time of the year.

 I was so happy that Hayden was with us this Christmas, I hate having to split it.  Halli and Devyn were here too and it made it extra fun. Here's the girls in their Christmas Eve PJ's.

 Christmas morning, the girls woke up at 7 a.m., but were nice enough and let us all sleep until 9 a.m.
The girls coming to see what Santa left.

 The girls left detailed letters to Santa asking 13 questions.  They left him Pepsi, cheese, milk and cookies, and celery and carrots for the reindeer.  Santa answered every question.  How does he have time for all that?

 Outside there were sleigh tracks, reindeer tracks, Santa tracks, carrot and celery crumbs, and magic glitter. It was really amazing.

 Halli received an Aerial Silk. We had never heard of this before.( its a huge piece of silk-type material you hang from a high point and do aerial gymnastics with) Halli takes classes back home in Kauai.  Halli is very good and showed Hayden how to do it.  Thank goodness Nana has a huge ceiling and a bracket to hang it from.

 Hayden wants an aerial silk now, she has gotten quite good.

 My whole family was able to go visit our Grandma and Dwight.  She is a great hostess. We enjoyed hearing her stories of when she was dating and engaged to Grandpa.

 Hayden's highlight was her Rip Stik which she hopped on and rode to Abbey's in bare feet. She also loved her new ipod dock and pillow pet.

But the very best thing was all of the kids and family together. It all ended way too soon.

Busy Christmas Weekend

We have been super busy this month and we have had a lot to look forward to.

I wait all year for this December weekend and all its celebrations.

 Saturday started with Hayden skiing at Snowbird and us getting ready for the party. We were able to go visit Jeremy's cousin Josh and Michelle and their cute new baby,Lincoln, before the party.

 Then to the annual Newcomb Christmas Party.  It's always so fun, everyone gets spoiled and we eat great food.  We all look forward to it, since we only all get together about 2-3 times a year.

 All the girls received a handmade Christmas stitching from Arlene, she had worked on them all year long. (loved it)

That night we then headed to stay in Bountiful with my family so we could go to the Tabernacle Christmas Concert the next morning.

 Sunday was the the concert and we felt very privileged to be there.  I know a lot of people were unable to to get tickets.

 David Archuleta was very impressive and didn't miss a note. 

He was so good, he very much reminded me of Josh Groban. 

 The Choir and Orchestra were amazing as usual. 

 I absolutely love this event every year and I think have only missed one performance in 13 years.

 Hayden was very excited to be able to see David Archuleta.

 After the concert we went to Harmony's apartment for Devyn's 4th birthday party.

 Devyn is a hoot and Harmony's cake was one of the best I have tasted.

I guess the party's over.

What's Christmas without a little chaos?
